HORACE W. HADLEY, OF ORANGE, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO THE NEW HOMESEWING MACHINE COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

BOBBlN-WINDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,662, dated December5, 188.2.

Application filed September 21. 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HORACE W. HADLEY, ofOrange, county ot' Franklin, State of Massachusetts, have invented anImprovement in Bobbin-Winders, of which the following description, inconnection withthe accompany! ing drawings, is a specioatiou.

My invention relates to a bobbin-winder, and has for its object toautomatically guide the thread being wound, so that it is laid evenlyover the entire length of the bobbin.

The invention is embodied in a bobbin-winderwin which thebobbin-actnating spindle is provided with a worin engaging a worm-gearwhich carries a mutilated or segmental pinion, which, in its continuousrotation alternately, engages racks on opposite sides of it, the saidracks being connected with a lever having a thread-guiding eye in itsend, and the said lever being oscillated back and forth at eachrevolution of the worin-gear and connected pinion.

Figure l is afront elevation ot' a bobbinwinder embodying thisinvention; Fig. 2, a rea'r elevation thereof', and Figs. 3 and 4 rearand front elevations ot' the double rack-bar and worm-gear, with itsmutilated pinion de V tached, on a larger scale.

The bobbin-actuating spindle ato receive one end of the bobbin and thecenter b to receive the other end are mounted in a framework, c, such ascommonly employed, and thesaid spindle is provided with a pulley, d, bywhich it and the bobhiu receive their rotary movement from thedriving-wheel ot' the sew- The spindle a is provided with a worm, e,engaging the teeth ot a worm-gear,

j', pivoted on the shank ofa screw,f, mounted on the frame-work c. Thesaid gear f is provided with a series of pins forming a segmental ormutilated pinion, g, the teeth oi'which alternately engage racks It andh in the double rack-bar z', pivoted at 2 to a lever, j, itself beingpivoted at 3 upon the trarne-work c. The said level-j is provided at itsupper end with an eye, k, into which the thread to be wound is insertedthrough a slot, m, the said barj, with its eye k, constituting athread-guide.

\ It w'ill be seen thatas the spindlea and gear f rotate continuously inone direction in winding the thread upon the bobbin the gear g willalternately' engage therack hh', givingthe rackbar t' a uniform movementfirst in one and then in the other direction, and that the said movementwill be imparted to the thread-guiding eye 1c, thus causing the threadto be wound in even layers throughout the entire length of the bobbin. yy

I claim- ,1. The combination of the mutilated pinion and rackbar forproducing a reciprocating rectilinear from a continuous rotary motionwith the actuating-spindle and thread-guide of abobbin-\vinder,substantially as described.

2. The combination ofthe mutilated pinion, rack-bar, and thread-guidewith the bobbinactuating spindle, worin, and worin-gear, substantiallyas described. l

3. The combination ot' the mutilated pinion HORACE lV. HADLEY.
